The stock image which has sold for €1million
A chap took a snap of a spud,
And a businessman thought it so good,
That right there, in a trice,
He paid a high price,
And you know that you would, if you could.

Irish Times’ tech supplement ‘Innovation’
The boys in the lab say they know,
That perpetual motion won’t go,
But has this smart mick,
Come up with the trick,
To make Steorn the answer? God no.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny (centre) and economist Joseph Stiglitz (second right) at Davos
A boffin called Stiglitz has said,
That we’re almost out of the red,
After several years,
Of hunger and tears,
So he gave us a pat on the head.

Are we finally getting round two,
Of S.O.S. and Voulez Vous?
When all’s said and done,
It would be so much fun,
For us all, knowing me, knowing you.

Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter in alignment
We’ll soon see a beautiful sight,
As the stars seem to line up just right,
But those who are wise,
Know Cthulhu will rise,
And bow to his terrible might.

Pro-refugee demonstration in Dublin, September 2015
When we offered a helping hand,
To thousands from a foreign land,
We expected plenty,
But only got twenty,
The rest said “Don’t bother, you’re grand.”

They say, but it just isn’t true,
Today is remarkably blue,
But go for a walk,
And have a nice talk,
Cheer someone else up, and them you.

We were offered a sweet moment when,
We could visit the nineties again,
But alas, in the end,
They’ll be missing one Friend,
It’s The One Without All Of The Men.

US president Barack Obama delivers his final State of the Union address last night
Obama has addressed the state,
One last time before they get eight,
Full years of D Trump,
To clean up that dump,
Don’t you envy America’s fate?
